Even though the rehearsal dinner isn’t the wedding, you still want to look fabulous! Here are some tips on what to wear:

Having a rehearsal dinner is a great idea if you want everything to flow perfectly on your Big Day. Even more than that, it is a great way of thanking some of your most important guests for having been part of such an important moment in your life. Of course, you will not be wearing your actual wedding gown, but you will still want to look amazing even though this is not the actual wedding. What to wear for this rehearsal? Here are some tips to help you out:

· In general, there are no actual “rules” as to what the bride should wear for the rehearsal dinner. The only important thing to keep in mind is that your outfit should reflect the level of formality your venue/rehearsal location will have. So, if you plan on having your wedding rehearsal over BBQ in your fiancé’s backyard, dress comfortably, according to the event. If you plan on having the rehearsal at a more elegant venue, a nice cocktail dress will be a perfect choice.

· You don’t have to wear white. Of course, if you actually want to, there’s nobody and nothing that should stop you from doing it. For instance, a lace-y cocktail dress will look really beautiful and it will connect your rehearsal attire with the actual wedding gown.

· If you want to, you can also dress in something that goes along with your wedding colors – especially if you plan the rehearsal around the same theme as your wedding. However, as mentioned before, the color(s) you wear should not be an absolute “must” and the only “rule” to bear in mind is that your outfit should reflect the location of your rehearsal.
